Similar cars to consider
Buyers comparing the Ford Focus often also look at these models. Check their MOT history and reliability before deciding:
Buying a Ford Focus Mk3?
Avoid 2011-2013 (more recalls); 2015+ improved with wet Powershift and facelift fixes. Overall, average – solid if manual/petrol, but autos and early diesels drag it down with trans/electrical niggles; better than Mk2 but not class-leading.
- Door Latch Failure — Pawl spring tab fractures, causing doors to unlatch unexpectedly while driving. Free if under DVSA recall R/2015/173 (or Ford 15S26); otherwise £200-£400 per door at indie garage.
- Squeaky Door Seals / A-Pillar Noise — Seals loosen or degrade, allowing wind noise and vibration. £50-£150 (new seals + labour).
- Excessive Battery Discharge / BCM Water Ingress — Washer fluid leaks down wires into BCM, causing drain and fault codes. £100-£250 (clean BCM + new pump if needed).
- Powershift Gearbox Jerking/Shuddering (Auto Variants Only) — Clutch wear or sensor failure causes harsh shifts. £400-£1,500 (sensor/clutch pack).
- Wet timing belt (oil-immersed, part typically CM5G-6M256-A or similar Ford OEM)
- Coolant leaks from cylinder head, seals, or header tank cap
